An aneurysm is an abnormal enlargement of a blood vessel such as the aorta. Because of an aneurysm, the normal cross-sectional area A₁ of the aorta increases to a value of A₂ = 1.7A₁. The speed of the blood through a normal portion of the aorta is v₁ =0.26 m/s. Assuming that the aorta is horizontal (the person is lying down), determine the amount by which the pressure P₂ in the enlarged region exceeds the pressure P₁ in the normal region.
